Facilities

Shop

Here at A’ The Airts we are providing a platform for local artists and crafters to sell their works either in our shop or during exhibitions held in the Gallery. Our shop has a wide variety of crafts available, many of which feature the Sanquhar pattern (some items are exclusive to our facility).

We strive to use local crafters and are continually finding new sources. Our well-established project – Sanquhar Pattern Designs – is revitalising the local cottage industry centred around the Sanquhar knitwear. The knitters produce a range of scarves, hats, jumpers, gloves, baby blankets and other items (some seasonal) which we proudly sell in the shop and online.

Café

Our café is a great spot to sit down with a coffee and enjoy our range of snacks, soup and cakes………find out more.

Theatre

We have a theatre that can seat a maximum of 50 individuals, suitable for small productions, performances and talks. It is equipped with a projector, for presentations and is used as a community cinema. The seats are retractable, so that the space can be easily opened up for other uses. Tai Chi, and playgroups, parties and conferences have all used this space.

Gallery/Exhibition Space

The theatre doubles as a gallery and we have further exhibition space throughout the building. We generally have many exhibitions throughout the year both by amateur and professional alike and we are always pleased to hear from groups or individuals who would like to consider the space for future exhibitions.

Craft rooms

We have two craft rooms, which our local community arts and crafts groups use on a weekly basis. The groups currently include pottery, photography, poetry, knitting, patchwork. The larger of the two rooms has a kiln for pottery and a potter’s wheel. The smaller of the two rooms is an ideal space for meetings.
